Hi everyone! So I've recently switched to Linux and I'm having a lot of fun downloading software and replacing my old stuff with it. I'm wondering what you all use?
My switched softwares:
Obsidian -> Logseq - Obsidian is great and all but I think Logseq is also competent in its own way even without plugins. I am currently exploring templates to create my own daily journal/habit tracker like I did in Obsidian.
Word/Notepad -> LibreOffice - Seems to have a lot of options. Currently using the writer software for quick notes.
Canva -> Inkscape - I am aware that Canva is a website/android app, but I decided to switch from it to Inkscape by utilizing open source illustrations such as Undraw for graphics needs. I still need to look up tutorials on how to use it properly, though!
Clip Studio Paint -> Krita - I actually made this switch a month or two ago, but I'm really enjoying Krita a lot more than I ever did Clip Studio Paint. Less things to get distracted by, giving you more chances to learn how to utilize the essentials.
Things I'd like to explore in more detail:
- Thunderbird as a calendar/email/task software
- Whether or not I should stick with Calibre for book management
- Kdenlive as a video creating program. I haven't created videos before, but it seems fun.
How about you? What do you enjoy?
It took me a few seconds to figure out what the heck just popped up on the side of my screen, haha! Thank you for the potatoes.
Out of curiosity do you find that neocities is easy to set up for a beginner? I'd like to get into blogging that I don't have to worry about getting comments on. Something where I can just ramble on a bit about how things went that day, what I learned, and then post and never touch it unless I want to reread that day's entry.
You'll need to know HTML and CSS, or at least know how to use a WYSIWYG editor (like DreamWeaver or BlueGriffon), but otherwise it's easy enough.
Literally pick a good name, create the site, and away you go!
I also believe you can connect your site to a custom domain, so it could be mywebsite.xyz instead of mywebsite.neocities.org. Domains are normally subscription based, but Mali (.ml) and Tokelau (.tk) are giving them away for free.
I'm planning on learning coding through FreeCodeCamp, so...it'll take a while, but I'll keep it in mind for when I think I can create a site.
Thank you for the information!
Good luck!
